Chapter 758: Defence of Beijing
Er Tanzi Ning finished I sat in the tent, his face was terribly gloomy!
He maintained this posture from the afternoon until the night, and the people who passed by slowly slowed down so as not to disturb him.
Er Danzi-the Eight Banners of the Han Army, mainly the Han people outside the Guan area who have taken refuge in the Danzi or the Han people who have made important "contributions" to the Danzi. In the view of the true Danzi, their importance is naturally higher than the Han people in the Guannei .
Ning Wan, I was a border resident of Liaoyang at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In the fate of the old wild boar skin, I surrendered to Houjin. At the beginning of the surrender, I worked for Belle Saharian and belonged to the Han Army Zhenghongqi.
In the third year of Tian Cong (1629), Huang Taiji heard that Ning had finished my proficiency in literature and history, so he was called into the palace and entered the museum. After Ning I entered the palace, I recommended many talented people to enter the palace, and Bao Chengxian was one of them. Soon after, Ning Wan, I was awarded as a participating general.
In the fourth year of Tian Cong (1630), the Qing army invaded northern China, and Jin ordered Ning and Dahai to go to the new site to appease the people. Then Ning Wan and I followed the Qing army to conquer Dalinghe and recruit Chahar.
In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), after the puppet Shunzhi emperor set the Ding Yanjing, Ning Wan I was appointed as a bachelor for further use.
But what about it, a dog is a dog, and a slave is a slave!
At noon, Ning Wan, I received a bad news that his beloved youngest son, Ning Shichun, died in the city of Beijing!
It has been three days since the Qing army attacked the city. In order, they filled the gully with the Ming people, filled the moat, and then drove the 20,000 puppet troops toward the extremely strong Beijing city, which looked like a copper wall and an iron wall.
I don't know if the 20,000 puppet army regretted not fleeing before accepting this mortal mission!
Twenty thousand people are too few. Han Baqi 30,000, and Mongolian Baqi 30,000 also came in handy, rushing to the city wall together.
Ning Shichun was the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and also participated in the war.
The Ming army defending the city was resolute, attacking all the invading enemies, and killing a large number of Ming people who went to fill the gully, and naturally they would not be merciless to the attackers.
The guns are all down, and the firepower is extremely fierce!
The Qing court provided sufficient firepower for the large amount of gunpowder accumulated in the war.
The sacred object of the city defense ---- the ash and gold juice from the stone wooden cannon bottle, prepared in large quantities, and sent it at the sight of the enemy, Ning Shichun was hit by a stone and his skull burst and died!
The Qing army will die as many as they come!
The number of casualties was extremely high. Both the Puppet Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were depressed, and the Mongolian Eight Horses were extremely depressed. They were elite cavalry soldiers, mainly cavalry, but were forced to dismount their horses and climb up the ladders.
When they awkwardly stepped on the Cairo circle leg to climb the ladder and were beaten down, they missed the flying horses very much. They were the sons of the grassland. Why did they intervene in the Ming and Qing wars and died worthless!
And the Tarzis are also depressed. They knew that the 100,000 puppet troops who had not let go before, used them to fill cannon fodder to attract firepower.
For this reason, the cold monk acting in the role of the dog's head army drew merciless ridicule. Previously, his proposal was to ignore the puppet troops that fled, so that now there is not enough cannon fodder to consume the firepower of the Ming army.
He has concerns, if those puppet troops are upset, and if they go directly to them, wouldn't he let the Northern Expeditionary army who are chasing after him laugh out of their teeth!
There is one more thing about him that the great chieftains laughed wildly. At first, he worried that the defending Ming army would threaten them with the families of the Eight Banners army, but the Ming army did not make this move!
Why didn't they follow this assumption and embarrass this army division!
Leng Sengji was very annoyed.
It was later proved that he seemed to be right, and Tanzi gave them a knife to the Ming people they caught and drove them to attack Beijing. The result!
The people of the Ming Dynasty started working directly with the Tarts!
If you go forward and die in your own hands, it is better to fight the Tartars!
Although they all died in the hands of Tarzi, Tarzi never wanted to arm the Ming people to attack the city.
When did the Ming people grow so much? !
He was tamed like a sheep before, but now he has become another person.
Therefore, it may be right to not control those fleeing puppet troops. Otherwise, they will be ganged up with the Tartars if they receive the mortal task of attacking them. After all, the puppet troops have received professional training and are more harmful.
After attacking for three days, there was no progress at all, which also made the Tartars frustrated.
They carry 6-pound marching guns, but the shells hit the solid walls of Beijing like itching.
Beijing city defense played its due defensive role. Although the officials of the Ming Dynasty were corrupt, no one dared to treat Beijing city defense as a trifling matter. After all, everyone sees it at the feet of the emperor. If you want to investigate it, it’s a matter of raising your foot. .
Year after year of reinforcement and defense, Beijing was tall and mighty, but it was a pity that Emperor Chongzhen couldn't live up to it, otherwise the use of Beijing city defense would be enough to make Li Zicheng a bloodshed.
Now it's different. Yan Changwu successfully aroused the fear of the people in Beijing---We have completed the feat of killing the emperor. If the city is broken, Danzi will slaughter the city!
In such an atmosphere, the soldiers and civilians were united in their efforts to fight the enemy courageously, and Yan Changwu plunged the Tatars into the sea of People's War.
The army that followed him into the city was 30,000, 20,000 regular soldiers were recruited, and 50,000 reserve guards were recruited, all of which were used for defense. The new recruits trained while fighting and learning business.
but!
He mobilized one hundred thousand people from Beijing to assist in the war. They transported supplies to the top of the city, transported the wounded soldiers to take care of them, cook meals, participate in vigilance, and even participate in the war...
Two hundred thousand defenders vs one hundred thousand siege soldiers, the number ratio is reversed.
Everything is in order, Yan Changwu said with satisfaction: "The military and the people are united as one person. Let's see who can be the enemy and who can be the enemy in the world!"
The invading Qing army was stunned, Yan Changwu used a throw-away method: the army naturally gets wages and bonuses for wars, and the people also get salaries for their fronts, and they are generous, and they earn money every day!
What he has is money!
The money from the inner treasury of the Qing court, the money from the Ministry of Households, and the money copied by the officials of the princes were used as bonuses. Everyone spends money on the difference, and he is not stingy!
Moreover, the materials obtained from the strong walls and the clear fields allowed the soldiers and civilians of the defenders to live well~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The soldiers and soldiers of the defenders had meat, rice and steamed buns at all meals, and the fighting people also had plenty of food.
Generally speaking, the besieged city will control the living supplies, but Yan Changwu opened up the supply and gave delicious food to the officials and people who defended the city.
So when the defenders threw bones down the city to reward the tatar dogs for eating the bones, the puppet soldiers and the second tatars who were eating porridge were in a daze. Even the real tatars who were a bit meaty were envied and swallowed wildly.
Where the Ming army used hostages to threaten the Tatar army, the bones could very well dampen their morale!
The Ming army even threw a bunch of pigs, sheep, cows, and donkeys skeletons down!
Among the rulers of the world, perhaps only Yan Changwu is most willing to spend money on his subjects, but he has to admit that the city's defenses are as indestructible as a copper wall.
The defenders of the city are most afraid of being dull, and the defenders on the city shouted slogans: "Fight for the leader, the great victory!"
Sing "Kill the Tartarians" together: "The hero of the Southeast Mansion, the barbarians are stained with green blood. Return me to the Han River and mountains, and vowed to establish a slave and annihilate it...."
The voice is so loud that even people who don't understand military affairs can defend the army with high morale!
When facing the enemy, the Ming army implemented the leader's instruction: "Strike the Tatars with intensive firepower!"
They used guns and guns to attack Tartar, use their foot guards to deal with Tartar, and threw explosive packets containing iron nails and iron bullets at Tartar!
In ancient battles, the powerful brothers played a very important role. There were many warriors in the Qing army. It really wanted everyone to fight with weapons, and the Southeast Army was not an opponent.
But when he threw the explosive packs at Brother Mengjiang, if one didn't work, then two, blast Brother Mengjiang into the air, fired Brother Mengjiang, slapped his face, Brother Mengjiang also had to flee in embarrassment!
Tarzi's offensive was contained, and what bothered them even more was that the reinforcements of the Northern Expeditionary Army were quickly approaching the city of Beijing!
